just consider that, maybe, keeping your mirror updated makes you spend more BW than just having 5 machines updated through the Internet.

I would be surprised if it is the other way around.

Hi Paulo,

You don't need permission or special access to make a private
mirror. Just sync from a public repository.

Caching is a very good option, the downside indeed is having to fix the source (mirrorlist/baseurl).  Didn't know the storeid_file_rewrite option, good to know.

Another option is to use the local plugin to yum/dnf (https://fedoramagazine.org/use-the-dnf-local-plugin-to-speed-up-your-home-la...)

The donwside of the local plugin is that it does not group simultaneous requests (as squid does if configured) and it does not delete old packages.  To be useful in a local network, you must setup the cache dir to a NFS common repo.  And beware of upgrades, since the plugin does not isolate release versions.

I am sure mirroring, even if just updates for example x86_64 architecture, would be more bandwidth.

Though when you go to update, having the updates *local* is really nice.

Consider running a squid caching proxy server configured to cache large files (maximum_object_size).

Since your systems will download from various mirrors at random (squid caches data by the full URL), you have two options:

1.  point your systems to a static regionally-close mirror by commenting mirrorlist= and pointing baseurl= to your chosen mirror.  Downside is when (not "if") your chosen mirror has an issue, you'll have to wait or reconfigure your systems again.

2.  to use a storeid_file_rewrite script or store_id_program (check serverfault.com for details).

Configure yum/dnf to use your proxy with "proxy=" in /etc/yum.conf or /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.

The first system to do updates will obviously be slow, but subsequent ones should be fast.  Consider disabling (deltarpm=0) to reduce local client disk I/O.

Squid and caching proxies are complex.  Personally I enjoyed learning the details.  I'm sure google would lead you to more tips (e.g., "squid and caching dnf downloads").

You may find pointing your browsers at your squid cache speeds some things up too.  YMMV.

Good luck!
